Three poles on the sun.

The blue sky is clear and clean, the vast grasslands are verdant and boundless, and the wildflowers in full bloom sway in the wind, mixed with the fragrance of the earth.

Two days later, Qin Shen and others, who followed Qu Han to learn swords, changed guards, and set foot on the road to Wuquan Pass after exchanging defenses.

Wuquan Pass, built in Qin, is the gateway of Yunzhong County to the outside of the Saiwai, located on the grassland except for the stretching Great Wall has no danger to defend, behind ten miles is the grain supply place Wuquan County, the garrison of more than 4,000 people in the pass, is led by the right lieutenant of Yunzhong.

I'm afraid that only Qin Shi Huang has the courage to build such a checkpoint on the grassland, after listening to Cao Jin's introduction, Qin Shen sighed slightly, turned his head and said: "In this way, we are not stationed in the county seat?" ”

"The county seat? We are border guards, what are we doing in that place? After Cao Jin finished speaking, he looked at him and wondered: "Brother Qin, didn't he think he was going to be stationed in the county seat, so he didn't want to take office, right?" ”

Qin Shen let go of his worries, smiled and said casually: "I also have concerns in this regard." ”

"Hey, I thought it was." Cao Jin suddenly realized, but he didn't care, remembering that he was leading the other party to Fengsui in the county seat that day, no wonder he thought so, and said with relief at the moment: "Brother Qin, don't worry, the county seat is just a place for ordinary recruitment, and there is ...... It is in case the pass is lost, and it will retreat to that place. ”

Qin Shen nodded in understanding, raised his whip and pointed to a seemingly long white jade belt in the depths of the grassland and asked, "What is that?" It doesn't look like a river. ”

"Sand belt." Cao Jin followed his direction and looked, and after speaking, he saw that he seemed to be clear and not clear, and explained: "The sand belt, paved with yellow sand, also called Tiantian, is about three zhang wide, it is used to detect the whereabouts of the Huns. ”

Qin Shen was speechless when he heard it, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated, and the method seemed to be clumsy, but it was the most suitable in this era, and what he didn't expect was that the Han Dynasty actually knew how to use the sensitive sense of smell of dogs to track the enemy.

sighed to himself for a moment, vaguely remembering that there seemed to be military dogs in a TV series about the Han Dynasty that I had watched before, and I couldn't help but laugh at myself for making a fuss and accidentally making the mistake of looking down on the ancients.

Everyone was not in a hurry, and he also had the intention to take this opportunity to learn more about this era, so he walked slowly to ask questions and answers, and did not arrive at Wuquan Pass until nearly noon.

While waiting to enter the customs, Qin Shen saw that there were occasional Xiongnu caravans coming and going, remembering what he saw in Wuquan County that day, and said curiously: "Haven't Han and Huns been fighting for several years?" Why are there still caravans coming and going? ”

"The court has indeed closed the mutual market, but ......," Cao Jin said and looked around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he continued in a low voice: "However, the county has not completely banned the private mutual market for tax purposes, as long as there is a legal customs clearance document, you can also come and go without prohibited things." ”

Qin Shen nodded in understanding and didn't say anything more, and then when it was their turn, they each handed over the military badges representing their identities, and after the pass guards checked it, they put everyone into the pass.

Entering the pass, Qin Shen found that Wuquan Pass was actually not small.

Perhaps because of the geographical location, the whole level is not the same as the fortress in the middle of the mountains, square and not narrow, surrounded by hundreds of meters of walls on each side, like a small city, along the wall built several rows of camps, in the middle of which is a large school field.

Seeing the situation in the customs clearly, Qin Shen arranged for Qu Han and others to find a place to wait, while he and Cao Jin went to meet the main general.

Dou Yi showed great enthusiasm for his arrival, and that feeling of spring breeze also made him almost think that he was the real boss, and when he sighed at the personal charm of the other party's personality, he almost had the idea of dying as a confidant.

After some greetings, the guest and the host sat down, Dou Yi turned to the topic, and said quite distressedly: "The autumn harvest is imminent, and there are always a small group of Huns coming to attack and disturb the Saiwai Tuntian, which makes me very annoyed. Saying that, he smiled, "But now that Junior Brother Qin is in charge, I can finally rest easy in the future." ”

"Thanks to the captain's high opinion, his subordinates are embarrassed." Qin Shenru got up and clenched his fists in fear, "Although the subordinates have been in the army for a short time, they have often heard of the prestige of the commander who strategizes and wins a thousand miles, and the subordinates are not talented, but they have to be directly obeyed by the captain's orders, and they dare not say more to kill Hu Jiangong to repay the captain's words, only to be conscientious and conscientious, but they can pick up the slightest bit of wisdom of the captain, and there is the slightest icing on the cake, and the subordinates are already very happy." ”

Looking at his response and gesture, Cao Jin couldn't believe his eyes.

In his impression, Qin Shen was just a hunter who came out of the mountains with a little knowledge and always acted ignorant about the things of the world, but at this moment, he was puzzled.

Could it be that there are really self-taught geniuses in this world? Or......

When he was puzzled, Cao Jin secretly said that this was a rare opportunity, and he hurriedly put down his puzzlement while laughing in his heart, watched carefully, and pondered carefully.

Dou Yi looked at him with an interesting expression, waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down, and said happily: "Little Brother Qin's words are exaggerated and interesting, but they are also exaggerated, I just believe that with your skills, you will be able to make the Huns come and go." ”

Qin Shen smiled, of course he understood the reason that the sedan chair person carried people, and the previous flattery to the other party was also out of this intention, but at this moment, seeing that the other party did not seem to intend to boast, but was extremely determined, he couldn't help but ask with a puzzled face, "Du Wei has never seen his subordinates before, why is he so sure of his subordinates?" ”

Dou Yi didn't answer him immediately, his eyes were blazing for a moment, and then he asked: "With nine people fighting more than 20 Huns and unscathed, with more than 10 people completely annihilating the enemy several times times and the damage is very small, if there is no prior arrangement, and there are people with superb archery skills, how can there be such a result?" ”

"It was the joint efforts of my comrades in the army, and there happened to be two people around my subordinates who were skilled in swordsmanship like chopping melons and vegetables, so they won by luck." Qin Shen explained.

"Hehe, Brother Qin's words are vivid and interesting, just like your archery skills, talking to you is really a great pleasure in life, and my heart of worrying about the Huns seems to be a lot lighter at the moment." Dou Yi smiled and got up to take down a longbow from the side wall, and then said, "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." Although Junior Brother Qin's archery skills are extraordinary, I see that you still use the bow of the army...... This 'Shock' can barely be used, just as I made up for the first meeting with you, how about it? ”

Qin Shen saw that he took the bow from the most conspicuous position in the tent, and hurriedly refused: "How dare your subordinates take the favor of the captain." ”

"It's just an extremely ordinary bow, could it be that it is difficult to enter the eyes of Junior Brother Qin?"

"With such a good bow, why do your subordinates disdain it? It's just ......" Qin Shen said and saw that Dou Yi was already pretending to be displeased, so he had to interrupt his words and said respectfully: "Then the subordinate is disrespectful." ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to take the longbow and tried it with both arms, and found that the strength of this bow was almost the same as the bow used before, but he immediately felt that the strength of this bow was greater, and the feel was also very comfortable, which was much stronger than the longbow issued by the army.

Dou Yi saw him pull out the longbow and suddenly "pout", and said, "Didn't Senior Brother Qin say that I haven't seen your archery skills?" At this moment, you can go to the school to show it, what does Little Brother Qin think? ”

If I could, of course I would say no! Qin Shen scolded in his belly, and replied with his fists clenched: "The captain has an order, how dare his subordinates disobey." ”

Dou Yi nodded and looked left and right, grabbed the helmet on the case and threw it to Cao Jin, and decided: "I will shoot this helmet a hundred steps away later." ”

"Wear it on your head?!" Cao Jin clumsily took the helmet thrown over, with a cute face and a shocked look, which made Qin Shen want to vomit for a while, and said in his heart, Your acting skills are inevitably too clumsy!

Dou Yi's eyelids rolled, and he said angrily: "Throw it in the air." ”

"Oh!" Cao Jin smirked as if he had escaped, not ashamed of his poor performance.

Qin Shen shook his head hatefully, and the three of them stepped out of the tent.

Dou Yi stretched out his hand and summoned two guards to lead the horse to get arrows and disperse the school soldiers, and in less than a moment, the news that someone wanted to try arrows spread throughout the army.

It's impossible to know exactly when thousands of years of fine tradition began, but the people of this era have made full use of it, and they have gathered around the school grounds to wait for the show to begin.

God, this is an exam! Looking at the thousands of soldiers onlookers, Qin Shen sighed in his heart and took the reins, put the quiver on his back and turned over on his horse, greeted Dou Yi with a fist, and then rode towards the center of the school field until he stopped a hundred steps away.

For Dou Yi's intentions, he naturally understands very well, the army advocates heroes only in terms of qualifications, he has heard of this matter in later generations, veterans from the battlefield, the generals who have always been parachuted in, unless the other party has extremely strong skills, and this situation is especially severe in ancient times, therefore, in the face of such an examination, he must show twelve points of ability, so as to deter others, so as not to lead the troops in the future to be constrained.

Having made up his mind, Qin Shen turned the horse's head sideways, took out the wrench from his arms and put it into his thumb, raised his bow to signal to Cao Jin, and then drove the horse diagonally......

The soldiers were wondering why he was carrying a bow but not an arrow when Cao Jin suddenly threw his helmet into the air.

And when Cao Jin was about to throw it, Qin Shen also quickly probed the quiver and pinched out two long arrows, suddenly turned sideways, and shot with his bow.

"Zheng Zheng" two strings sounded almost without interval.

With a "ding", the first arrow pierced through the helmet, which had just risen to the top, and flew out diagonally.

Before everyone could be surprised, the second arrow came, and with a "ding" sound, they saw the helmet deviate from the trajectory again in the slanting fall to the ground.

Looking at the helmet falling like a scattered leaf, everyone was so stunned that they forgot to cheer, even if someone told them that they could continue the third and fourth arrows, they had no doubts.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

After the helmet hit the ground, it bounced several times and finally came to a standstill.

There was silence in the room, and the soldiers stared at the helmet, which had no arrows stuck in it, and if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have thought that the two arrows were just a void.

How strong is that? For the first time, everyone raised a kind of armor that was not omnipotent, and the feeling that danger was beside them couldn't help but feel inexplicable palpitations.

"Color!"

A monotonous cheer broke the silence, and everyone who woke up suddenly broke out with a neat and uniform "ho ho", and all the eyes looking at Qin Shen were full of fanatical excitement, which was the joy of being a member of the Han army with him, and the glory of being a member of the Han army.

The Hun merchants who stopped to watch had solemn faces.

In this era, no one understands the importance of an excellent general to the whole army better than them, and they seem to see another Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Li Ling, and Li Guang......
